No Problem, Mon!

We interrupt our normally scheduled programming, "The Life and Times of the Arning Bros.," to bring you this rare message about Mom and Dad...

Mike and I got back from our 10-year anniversary trip to Jamaica last night, weary but well-rested. We had a great time on our vacation, but we were so happy to be home. We couldn't wait to see the boys this morning! 

As for our trip, we were in Jamaica for five days, but we were very busy the entire time! 

First and foremost on the agenda was to sleep. That is very time consuming, as you know! In fact, we slept 12-hours the first night alone! 

After sleep, came laying by the pool. We each had two books to read so that, too, will keep one very, very busy. 

After laying by the pool and reading, we also had to eat several times a day. It's exhausting having to decide which of the seven restaurants we're going to eat at each night! 

Then, there was drinking pina coladas and other assorted island drinks. Now, that will wear anyone out!

And finally, there was the off-shore boat trip to the resort's private island where we also had to lay by the pool, read and eat enormous amounts of food. Can you imagine?!

Luckily, we survived and made it home safely. Back to reality, I suppose! 

Want to see photos from our trip to Jamaica? 

"No problem, mon!"  

Dad, happy to be anywhere but at work.

Mom, happy to be wearing something other than shirts with slobber and snot on them.

Dad, advertising for Red Stripe, the official beer of Jamaica and our 10-year anniversary trip.

This isn't a very good picture, but that's our room... right off of the pool!

I thought this was a cool picture. I don't know why.

Can't you just see the joy in his face?

Dad is hoping to get "chug points" from Red Stripe.

Seriously, do you think we can earn a few advertising bucks from this?

Mom, loving life.

I have nothing to say about this photo except that I really should have washed my hair.

And this is my advertisement for J.Crew. (That's where I got the bathing suit.)

I loved the Red Stripe too! (This is getting out of hand, isn't it?)

This is pretty much ALL I did all vacation.
I was only 50 pages away from having read three books!
(By the way, that is a very good book if you've not read it.)

What is the deal with the Red Stripe? (This picture is Mike, trying to be artistic with the camera.)

And this picture is the famous Jamaican creature, Dadus Vacationus, which is native to the island.  

I was able to get a picture at close range of this rarely seen animal.

I didn't write "Sandals" in the sand, but I thought it made for a cool picture.

This is a picture of the private island owned by the resort.

And this is Dad, doing his husbandly duty... bringing wine to the wife.

I like this photo. Doesn't he look cool?

This picture was taken at sunset.

Dad, relaxing by the ocean.

Doesn't he look like a Mob boss here? 

This was our favorite place to sit every night. We had a great view of the sunset.

Happy, happy.

And here's a picture of the Jamaican sunset. Isn't it amazing?

We had a resort photographer take our picture to commemorate our 10-year anniversary.

Can you believe it's been 10 years? Well, almost 10 years...

Until next time!

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming...
